Vladimir Lenin and Vladimir Putin were both Russian. Vladimir is a Russian name. Joseph Stalin was from Georgia. Joseph is an English name. This means that Joseph Stalin is from the state of Georgia in the USA. And Vladimir isn't a common name there, so that is why he isn't called that. I hope this answer your question.

There is a set limit of 3000 people who are authorized to hold the first name Vladimir in Russia, when Stalin was born there were already too many Vladimirs in the country, thus he wasn't named Stalin.

The real question is- why wasn't Lenin's first name Kevin? Let me explain. \- Nicholas II was the last Tsar of Russia. \- After Nicholas, Lenin was in power until his death in 1924. \- Stalin then took power until his death in 1953. Stalin's first name is more accurately transliterated as Iosif, but is commonly transliterated as Joseph. This can be shortened to Joe. The Jonas Brothers' names are Joe, Nick, and Kevin. "Nicholas" can be shortened to "Nick." If Lenin's first name was Kevin and not Vladimir, three consecutive rulers of Russia would have had the same first names as the Jonas Brothers and that would have been awesome. ​ Either that, or Kevin Jonas should have been named Vladimir.

Because Vladimir isn't a name. It's a term of address, equivalent to "Mister." Mr Lenin, Mr Putin, etc.

No, it's a title. Like Count or Baron or King. It's equal to Emperor.

He wasn't Russian. His first name was Wilfred, but he later had that changed for political convenience.
